    I was very excited to try this place but was thoroughly disappointed. Two cocktails took twenty minutes to arrive, the tuna appetizer is strategically named in Japanese to hide the fact that it is low quality skipjack and the chimichuri steak was nothing to write home about. The wait staff was friendly but extremely overbearing with the water refills. Both couples on either side of us were visibly dismayed with the dining experience as well. Tiny servings, slow bar, pretentious menu. Worst $160 I’ve spent this month.

    I was there on a Thursday evening for dinner with a client. The service was friendly and helpful. The food was delicious. The drinks were unique variations of classic cocktails, and very pleasing. While very active, the noise level didn’t interfere with normal conversation. It was very pleasant evening.

    My gnocchi and hangar steak was fabulous, and my steak cooked to the level of doneness (i.e. medium) that I requested.
